It's packed full of useful techniques for repairing a huge number of repairs on a variety of materials. The step by step guides come with useful diagrams which help make the jobs easy to understand and give you the professional finish you want.

Along side the literature we also stock  Blue Gee product to make your repairs manageable including the Carbon Fibre Repair Kit, Glassfibre Repair Kit as well the NEW measured tubs of filler, thickener and additive.

The cold is setting in and P&B have stocked up on drysuits. Amongst the usual favourites Crewsaver Cirrus, Musto MPX and Gill Pro. P&B have added the Neilpryde Curve and Crewsaver Phase2 to our shelves. With many of these suits on offer and coming with FREE undersuits and dry bags there really is no better time to get ready for your winter sailing.

Shop on-line, visit us in-store or call us on 01604 592808 for all the latest offers and product info!


 
Kit Of The Week!
KIT of the WEEK!
Each week one of the P&B team will be looking into their kit bag and giving us an item that they simply wouldn't sail without.

P&B's Lawrence Creaser went for something a bit different last weekend by sailing a J24 at Plymouth in their Spring Cup. During a weekend of close racing in wet and wild conditions Loz's 'Kit of the Week' is the ever popular Dubarry Ultima Boot. The all leather boot with Gore-tex® lining is a yachting essential as they provide the warmth, comfort, stability and grip needed on and off the water in the toughest conditions.
